问题    Hunted as the wild turkey is, it has developed a high degree of ingenuity in escaping from its pursuers. It appears to have learned a game of make-【C1】______. When caught 【C2】______ close quarters, it puts on the tame and【C3】______ demeanor of the domesticated bird.
   Dr. Wheaton mentions a case【C4】______ two hunters of his acquaintance came suddenly upon a【C5】______ of five in the road. They seemed quite【C6】______, walked deliberately in front of the two gunners, 【C7】______ a fence, and disappeared slowly 【C8】______ a low hill. Then they【C9】______ to their legs, and presently to their wings, and soon placed a wide【C10】______ between themselves and their dupes. The chagrin of the sportsmen may be imagined. The【C11】______ had made a game of them. Such birds Wheaton would have called "【C12】______ civilized".
   Yet turkeys are wise in some respects and foolish in others. In old times, at【C13】______, great numbers were caught in【C14】______ built of logs, the only entrance【C15】______which was through a shallow, narrow trench. The【C16】______ birds, following the corn which had been scattered in the trench, 【C17】______ through the entrance; when perhaps half a dozen of them were inside, and the bait was all eaten, they tried in【C18】______ to get out through the top or sides of the pen, never once looking down and passing【C19】______ by the way they had come in, even though they might remain in the trap for several days, or until they【C20】______ of hunger.

选项 A、vacancy
B、place
C、distance
D、terrain
答案 C
解析    本题考点为词义辨析。
   (1)句式分析。
   原句中，Then(然后)是语篇衔接手段，表时间顺序，they是主语，took和placed是谓语。placed a wide______是动宾结构，a wide后必须是名词。
   (2)句意判断。
   根据前一句They seemed…walked deliberately…以及所给选项可知，此处place a wide between意为“和……拉开一大段距离”，由此断定，此句意为“然后这群火鸡立刻扑棱着翅膀撒腿就跑，很快就把两个上当的猎人甩到了身后”。
